Scott’s View: V-J Day 78 Years Later - The Joy of World Peace

Scott Higgins, WeSalute Co-founder & Co-CEO

Next Monday is Labor Day weekend, but did you know that Saturday, September 2 is VJ Day? It’s the 78th anniversary of the end of the war in the Pacific, effectively ending World War II. Our nation sent 16 million Americans, about 11% of our population at the time, to fight during World War II. We lost over 400,000 men and women who fought to protect the freedoms that our nation continues to enjoy today.

Today’s Cover Story is a lighthearted story about the iconic photo of the sailor kissing the nurse in Times Square when peace was finally at hand. I think you’ll enjoy it!

Scott's View: Keeping the Dream Alive: MLK Day and the Veteran Community

 Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2025 is this coming Monday, January 20. “MLK Day” is more than just a day off. It's a time for reflection, remembrance, and renewed commitment to the ideals that shaped a nation. While we celebrate the progress made in the fight for racial equality, it's crucial to remember that the journey is far from over. Dr. King's message of love, unity, and nonviolence continues to resonate deeply, especially within the veteran community.
